Third, the range in absolute magnitude of the RR Lyrae stars appears to be quite
restricted. Fourth, RR Lyrae stars, like Cepheids, have the virtue that they can be

Astronomy: A Physical Perspective
In order to compare intrinsic luminosities of stars, we define a system of absolute
magnitudes. The absolute magnitude of a star is that magnitude that it would
appear to have as viewed from a standard distance, d0. This standard distance is
...

Sky Catalogue 2000.0: Stars to
magnitude 8.0
is straightforward to show that if m is the apparent magnitude and M is the
absolute magnitude of a star, then m - M = Slogd - 5, where d is the distance in
parsecs. (Notice that when d is 10 parsecs, the right side of this equation
becomes zero ...

... their apparent brightness. Astronomers have adopted a scale for the absolute
magnitude M based on the apparent magnitude scale. The absolute magnitude
of a star is numerically equal to the apparent magnitude it would have if it were 1

Physics for the IB Diploma: Standard and Higher Level
In order to be able to compare stars in this way, the concept of absolute
magnitude has been introduced. The absolute magnitude of a star is the
apparent magnitude that it would have IF it were observed from a distance of TO
parsecs.

The magnitude–distance formula relates the apparent magnitude m v , the
absolute magnitude M v , and the distance d in parsecs: mv M v 5 5 log10(d) If
you know any two of the parameters in this formula, you can easily calculate the
third.
